Frosty Blue Jay

Frosty Blue Jay ~ 9x12 Acrylic on Canvas.

~ Everytime I look out my window in the front yard or the back yard the Blue Jays are always there. If I can't see them I can at least hear them. Such a beautiful bird!!! I have not painted in a long time, but the Blue Jay inspired me today to pick up my brush.. and it felt GREAT!!!! ☺ ~

November 3rd I donated this painting to our Recreation Department at WRC. Proceeds went to programs for residents that live there.

For the 2011 ACEO Deck of Cards

2011-03-29T17:48:00.000-07:00

"Farm At Dusk"

2.5 x 3.5 ACEO acrylic.

I Painted this ACEO (Art Card Editions & Originals) for the upcoming 2011 ACEO Deck of Cards.

This painting will be featured on the 9♦ Diamonds. This will be my second deck, I also contributed to the 2009 ACEO double deck with my Railway & Grain Elevator featured on the 2♣ Clubs. I hope to be part of upcoming future decks as well ☺

"OM"

2010-08-29T13:02:00.000-07:00

"OM" (or "Aum") for Hindus & Buddhists, a mystic word or mantra. OM is regarded as the syllable of the supreme Reality and is sometimes called "the Mother of Mantra"

The lotus flower is one of the most ancient and deepest symbols of our planet.
The lotus flower grows in muddy water and rises above the surface to bloom with remarkable beauty. At night the flower closes and sinks underwater, at dawn it rises and opens again. Untouched by the impurity, lotus symbolizes the purity of heart and mind. The lotus flower represents long life, health, honor and good luck.

This painting is a 6x8 mixed media painting on canvas. I used Acrylic & prisma colour pencils to capture the beauty of the lotus flower.

This painting is a gift for my yoga & fitness teacher Sairah :)

Blue Fairy

Blue Fairy ~ Prismacolor Colored Pencil ~ ACEO

I have always loved fairies and not sure why I haven't attempted to paint one but here is my first attempt at Fairy art in colored pencil.

Red Eyed Frog

2010-03-08T19:32:00.000-08:00

Red Eyed Frog ~ My first ACEO with my new Prismacolor Coloured Pencils. ~

I really enjoyed using coloured pencils and this was the first time I have ever tried them!

I usually use Acrylic or oils as my medium.. but I might just stick to coloured pencils for awhile.

Its easy to use with the kids around and I don't have to worry about paint drying up or paintbrushes drying before i get a chance to clean if I'm running around tending to kids and housework :)

Ocean Nights

2010-01-26T14:12:00.000-08:00

Here is a series of 3 ACEOs called Ocean Night. I just had to paint more Palm Trees..LOL. These 3 are currently up for auction on Ebay (unframed)

DREAMS?

2010-01-25T17:39:00.000-08:00

After travelling to the Mayan Riviera I felt inspired to paint Palm Trees as I saw sooooo many..LOL.. I loved it there! The ocean was so beautiful and the weather was warm specially compared to where I live here in Saskatchewan.. We just had a huge blizzard.. oh how I wish I was back in MEXICO!!!!

This is a 5x7 acrylic painting. I like to call it DREAMS? It is my impression of a pirate or sailer in search of land.. "Is that land ahead? or am I dreaming?" The pirate is so desperate to seek land he sees a mirage in the distance of a Palm tree.

Pirate Ship

2009-09-16T20:45:00.000-07:00

Pirate Wind

The autumn wind's a pirate,
Blustering in from sea;
With a rollicking song, he sweeps along,
Swaggering boist'rously.

His skin is weather-beaten;
He wears a yellow sash,
With a handkerchief red about his head.
And a bristling black mustache.

He laughs as he storms the country,
A loud laugh and a bold;
And the trees all quake and shiver and shake,
As he robs them of their gold.

The autumn wind's a pirate,
Pillaging just for fun;
He'll snatch your hat as quick as that,
And laugh to see you run!

Saskatchewan Sunset

2009-09-16T20:36:00.000-07:00

One thing I truley love about growing up In Saskatchewan... the AMAZING sunsets. I have seen many other beautiful places in Canada.. all having different beauties about them.. But we are blessed to have such mesmerizing sunsets.

Wood Mountain Elevator

2009-09-13T09:37:00.000-07:00

Wood Mountain is a Village located in south central Saskatchewan a few kilometers from where the original North West Mounted Police post was originally located. For several years in the 1870's , the N.W.M.P. monitored Sitting Bull and thousands of Sioux who feld to this area after the battle of Little Big Horn.

There is only one grain elevator left in Wood Mountain, and it is not in operation. This elevator was built by the Saskatchewan Pool in 1928. Its one of Saskatchewan's oldest wooden elevators standing today.

Christmas Window

2009-09-10T20:11:00.001-07:00

With winter not too far around the corner.. also brings CHRISTMAS!!!!! Here I imagined some house on a quiet street on Christmas Eve. Looking through the window I can imagine how it might smell like Christmas baking or an oven roasted turkey.. or even picture someone sitting out of windows view sitting in a rocking chair relaxing and enjoying a cup of eggnog reading the paper or just staring at the beautiful lights on the Christmas tree. Oh I love Christmas!!!!

Winter Church

2009-09-10T20:00:00.001-07:00

Well it won't be much longer until we have snow here in Saskatchewan.. I know it only September but we sometimes have our first snowfall as early as mid October to early November so its not too far around the corner. With that in mind I decided to paint a winter scene.. Here I imagined a church somewhere up north nestled in the trees hidden away from the hustle and bustle of perhaps some small town or city near by.

The two paintings you see here are my latest paintings. ACEO 2.5 x 3.5. Emerald Sunset: A mermaid sitting upon the rocky shore watching a dolphin jump in the distance. I chose greens for the colours as that was my favorite colour of the day..LOL. Cold Northern Winter: I imagined a cold winter night and thought: What would warm this painting up? A teepee with a warm fire and northern lights dancing above.
